I love this purifier! It fits my aesthetic and matches other devices in the living room. More importantly, it does a great just of cleaning the air. It’s a night and day difference between when it’s been running and when it’s off. I can tell because sometimes my toddlers like to touch the buttons and I could tell it was off one day when I got home from work😅. Yes the child lock works because I put it on after this happened a few times 😁 ( I like them to be curious about things)

This is the best investment! It has truly changed my family’s life and health. We breath better, allergies aren’t as bad, and you can’t smell the dog smell in our home anymore! This product is so worth it, and I wish I could buy another one. I love the look of it as well. The colors of the fabric pieces that catch dirt and other things are so cute. The sound is just like a fan, and we’ve gotten used to it so we don’t even hear it. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is wanted a purified home!! In the picture you can see how dirty the fabric is but it’s SO easy and simple to clean! If you’re considering it, GET ONE!

We have a lot of construction going on around our home due to it being a new community, so there was a ton of dust in our home. We got this purifier about 2 years ago and it drastically changed the amount of dust we had. I was wiping down our countertops continuously, multiple times a day. Now, I wipe them down maybe once a day and they have little to no dust! I have another brand purifier for our bedroom and it’s disappointing, dust every day. I wish I had purchased this one for our upstairs as well as our downstairs. This has been a fantastic purchase! It’s very easy to use, you can easy clean external filter and the internal can be changed easily. It’s a decent size so we had to find a place where it wasn’t super obvious, but it also needs to circulate air, however, the white and gray blends in so it isn’t an eyesore either. And, it’s seriously worth it to have clean air and clean countertops!

I did a comparison between these Blueair OEM filters, Wocase filters (3rd party seller), and Lhari (another 3rd party) filters for our 680i/580i purifiers. The dimensions of these were identical. The weights were not. The Wocase weighed in the highest at 2.6 lbs, the Lhari at 1.8 lbs, and the lightest was Blueair OEM at about 1.25 lbs. The weights matter, because the tightness of the weave of the HEPA and the amount of carbon will vary. Comparing the Lhari HEPA showed that the Lhari had more folds per inch (see images) but when you pressed on the folds it was more pliable than the Wocase. That is, the Wocase HEPA was stiffer and more substantial. The number of folds in the Wocase HEPA was similar to the Blueair, but again, the Wocase was stiffer and more substantial than even the Blueair. The Wocase had a prefilter on its carbon filter (see images). Note that the carbon filter on the Wocase and the Lhari are integrated and not removable like the carbon filter on the Blueair OEM. However, the thickness of the Wocase filter is at least as wide as the Blueair (see images). I did not open the Lhari to see this, but probably it is similar. The Wocase wins the test for substantial build of these filters. It fits into our Blueair purifiers well and does a good job of sending out clean air. There is no bad odor detected from them whatsoever. They seem to be a good value for the price and we prefer them to these Blueair OEM filters.

Purchased this air filter to install in a child’s bedroom. The low sound level and compact size make it great for smaller rooms. Pros: - It’s A very quiet air filter even with the fan on full speed. - The Gray cover is great at hiding the dust that builds up between washings as the air filter is used. - It looks good in the room and is not an eye sore. - Auto Setting is a convenient way to run the air filter. As it senses changes in the air quality the fan will increase circulation and air filtration. - LED indicator will change as the sensors pick up changes in air quality. Cons: - The Gray cover goes directly over the filter membrane. There is no plastic sub structure. That means if it’s in a child’s room and child knocks something into it, it could dent or damage the filter itself resulting in the need for a replacement. - Without constantly referring to the manual it’s difficult to know what setting it’s on. This can be rather problematic if a child continues to cycle through the settings. Would I recommend it to a friend: Yes

I got so tired of reading conflicting reviews on all the many different medium room size air purifiers that I finally settled on this model. It seems a bit pricy compared to many of the others of comparable size, especially since all of these tend to have a prefilter, a paper filter, and a charcoal filter layer. All these air purifiers are essentially the filter powered by a fan pulling in the air through the filter and then sending the filtered air out. Logic would dictate they are all doing the same thing. The plusses for this model: This model is ready to use out of the box and has a very quiet fan. You get added features if you connect using your phone app. Downside: unit is very finicky about connecting to your phone. I had to try several times. It does tend to make the room feel cold, and filter replacements are expensive and non-OEM filter choices are extremely limited.

My partner and I have wanted to get an air purifier for some time now, our roommates have cats, the previous residents were smokers, and our room gets dusty and very stuffy. I was able to get this Dustmagnet one on sale. I love this little thing so far. It’s only been a couple days to be fair but I’ve already noticed a difference in the freshness and crispness of the air. My partner and I have it in our bedroom. And I don’t know if it was just older reviews and the product has been improved or I’m missing something… but I have no issues with the sound. I expected it to sound like a fan. It is like realllllly quiet. We have it on auto and I can only hear it if I really pay attention. Even on its full setting it is simply a nice white noise and quieter than a fan in my opinion. On the app you can change the setting, monitor the air quality, and even turn down the LED indicator lights or turn them off entirely. I also very much enjoy its style, it gives me mid century modern vibes which I love. Time will tell about how it works long term but so far I’m very excited about it. In the video, I go through the different settings and there is little if any background noise. Level 2 and 3 seem to be significantly louder than any of them. I keep mine on auto full time and it’s virtually silent. The picture shows how I have my filters placed, the only thing I would change about this product is to make it super super clear in the instruction manual which direction they go in.

Came already broken :-/ Bought the OEM for significantly extra hoping… itd be better… ugh. Broken corners might not matter at first but to reuse and lightly wash. no bueno

I’ve been using this humidifier about 2-3x/week for about a month now, and I have somewhat mixed feeling about the product. Mostly, I use it at night in my son’s room and then I clean and dry it until the next use. Here are some of issues I have with the product: The filter is already down to 92% with 6-8 hour use, 2-3x/week for a month. It started out completely quiet at the beginning (I mean, you wouldn’t know it was on), and now it makes a buzzing sound while operating. I also noticed a few nights ago when the machine ran all night because of low humidity from our central heater, that a small about of condensation dripped down from the vents on the side of the unit causing a puddle to form under the humidifier (see picture). People made positive comments about the app, but quite a few times mine would say that my unit is “offline” even though my WiFi was working just fine for everything else in the house, and it would take me another five minutes to log out and log in and reconnect, etc. On the other hand, cleaning is pretty easy because it’s literally just the bucket at the bottom, but I always have to have a towel laid out because the filter, fan (top part of the unit, and the third interior part of the humidifier are all wet/dripping with water when I disassemble it for cleaning. I like that when the unit stops for period of time, an auto dry function kicks in which helps dry out the wet filter inside, albeit, it makes it less wet but I wouldn’t say that it “dries” the filter. I also love the fact that there is no mist coming out of the unit, so there’s no mineral film or condensation on furniture or floor surfaces.

I couldn't decide between 300s or the blueair 411 auto, so I bought both. I ended up keeping the 300s. Looks: blueair Albeit personal preference, the blueair wins this area pretty handily for me. I like the taller skinnier design of the blueair given where I was going to place it *(.7 inches skinnier). Plus the fabric filter covers on the 411 allow it to blend in more with my decor. The levoit, is a giant piece of plastic, and it looks like it. The display on top is slick, but I leave that off most of the time Filter: Tie, with maybe slight edge to the 411. The filter on the levoit is about twice as thick, but has about half as much exterior surface area as the 411. Additionally I think the fabric pre-filter on the 411 will probably do a better job of keeping the actual filter from having to filter large particles. I suspect the 411's filter will probably last longer due to all of this. However given the added thickness of the levoit, I bet it's filtering smaller particles better. Filter costs: Tie 3rd party replacement filters for both are about the same. Although I suspect the 411 will need them slightly less frequently due to the increased exterior surface area of the filter. Exterior Build: Levoit The 411 doesn't really have any type of skeleton protecting the outside of the filter. While handling the 411, I was constantly concerned I'd crush the filter or otherwise deform it *(and I did). The other problem with this is blueair didn't really give you any safe place to grab the 411. The levoit on the other hand is a giant solid feeling piece of plastic. Although I won't be moving this around very often there is a good chance my dog will brush into it or poke it (she sleeps next to it), so this did matter a little. Fan: Levoit The Levoit's fan is a solid impeller type fan. When you shake the unit you don't hear any kind of play from the bearings or mechanisms. There are 4 fans speeds plus auto, (sleep, low, med, high) and auto will switch between those 4. An interesting quirk is that whenever you change fan speeds it seems the Levoit overshoots the speed slightly, and then slows the fan down from there. That doesn't really bother me though as I don't expect to be changing speeds often. The 411 however is a standard 5 bladed 6.5-ish inch fan (I didn't measure). When I shook the 411 I could hear play in the fan's mechanism. There are 3 fan speeds (low, med, high) and auto switches between them auto here In terms of air volume coming out of the top of the units the Levoit sleep, low and medium are equivalent to the low, medium, high speeds on the 411. That means the levoit's high is a whole extra gear higher of air movement when compared to the 411. The specs of the unit corroborate this fact. Noise: Levoit- This is by far the most important section to me. The 411 is audible even on the lowest setting (or auto), and to make it worse it has a baseball cards in bicycle spokes type noise (check out the video in my review of the 411). The Levoit is inaudible on sleep, and I often use low as white noise if I take a nap during the day. On Medium and High have the levoit does have a slight high pitched whistle, but I don't need to use those settings much. Power Use: Tie I used a belkin wemo insight to measure both devices at varying fan speeds, and waited for the power draw to stabilize. The insight can not measure less than 2W and instead displays <2W. Also the 300s was connected to wifi when I performed this test. Levoit: Auto <2 W, Sleep <2W, low = 5W, Medium, 9W, high= 22W 411: Auto <2W, Low <2W, Medium 2W, high 9W. As I'll be leaving this on Auto most of the time, that's what matters most to me. As both are less than 2W, my suspected running cost for both is less than $2/yr at $.11/kwh. Basically don't worry about power draw. App: Levoit In spite of myself being a smarthome enthusiast *(I have at least 70+ smart devices, and about 25+ apps to control them all), I did not care about having another app. That being said I find myself actually using this one. It was easy to get up and running on android *(I'm a nerd, but it really just worked). The big benefit is that I scheduled the purifier to run on Medium when I'm not in the room (which happens to be my office), and then turn back to Auto before I return. When I get back to my office the air smells and feels noticeably better than the rest of the house. Plus being able to tell alexa to turn up the purifier just seems cool. It will be more useful when I stick a second one of these in my daughters room and I can turn it to low for white noise without having to enter the room. So yeah I returned the 411 Auto.

This is now our 2nd Blue air purifier. I originally bought the smaller Blue 411+ for our bedroom and I was very impressed with how having that in our bedroom improved my lifelong allergies that I take a daily pill for. Prior to getting the smaller 411+ I would very often wake up with a stuffed nose. Yes, we do have 2 dogs but they are not allowed in the bedroom due to my allergies. I honestly didn't have high hopes for the smaller unit but after a couple days of it purifying the bedroom air, I noticed a huge difference. I began waking up with clear sinuses and the room smelled "different". Not a bad smell but maybe just NO smell? Anyhow, after giving the little Blue a good 30 days to prove itself, I knew I needed a larger one for our living room. This is also where our dogs (golden retriever and black lab) spend most of their time with us when they are inside. And having these 2 dogs and allergies doesn't make life super easy as cleaning goes. I have to vacuum daily or every other day (minimum) and will at times pull up what looks like a small dog inside my vacuum canister. Especially, when my golden is blowing her coat. Finally after comparing, I went ahead and ordered the Blue 311 Auto for our living room which is approximately 420sf. I also bought a separate filter cover that's shown in my pictures and an additional filter to have on hand. The unit arrived well packaged and without damage. It came with a main filter installed and a a light gray filter cover but tbh, I will use the light gray cover while cleaning and drying the dark gray cover I have on it now. I as I prefer the dark (name is actually Winter Reed) over the lighter gray. I also like the quality of the upgraded cover. It's a bit thicker and looks nice. The set up was simple. It's really just plug it in and go. I like that this unit has 4 mode settings and indicator lights to show air quality and when the filter needs replaced. I have noticed one time when out of nowhere the air quality sensor light briefly turned from blue to orange then back to blue. The light sensor color indicators and level info are Blue (good), Orange (moderate), and Red (polluted). The main filter change sensor is supposed to switch on after 6 months of use but I haven't had it long enough to confirm if that works yet. For maintenance, I do run my vacuum brush over the outer filter cover once a week to clean any dust off of it which, there always is. This was also an immediate indicator to me that this fella is doing its job! I will also run a damp cloth on the the plastic exterior at the same time just to keep it clean and in the best working condition. Noise Level: This 311 Auto unit has 4 modes. ✔Auto Mode: (fan speed will change depending on the air quality it senses). ✔Night Mode: (whisper quiet, low speed) ✔Everyday Mode: (medium speed) ✔Boost Mode: (fastest speed and very loud). Boost mode is like, wind tunnel loud! Way too loud for us to watch TV in the same room if it was on. But this mode is not for everyday use. The only time I've used boost mode is when there is a specific reason i.e.,dogs came in from rain or I may have cooked/baked something that has a lingering smell, etc. I would just turn it on boost for 10 minutes or so to dissipate whatever the odor issue may be. We typically have it set on auto mode or everyday mode and it's very, very quiet. I would say auto mode is more quiet or no louder than an average fan that's on it's lowest speed and everyday mode is maybe as loud as a fan on medium setting. ▪️Please see video I took of the different modes to show the sound difference between all four settings▪️ I have now had this particular unit running 24/7 for about 2 months and we love it! We live in Washington State so when it rains and our fur babies go out for break, any "wet dog" smell is gone in minutes if I kick in the boost mode but everyday mode will also take care of that within an hour or so. Sadly, I also know fire season will soon be upon us for summer and I have no doubt both units will do a fantastic job at keeping the quality of air inside our home filtered, clean and smelling fresh during the seasonal bad air quality. We will be tackling a full home remodel next year which we'll be adding central heating and air but even then, I plan on keeping both these units up and running! Would I recommend this Blueair 311 Auto? Absolutely 100%. Summary: All in all, if you suffer from allergies/asthma like me, have animals, or simply a home without filtered air and are teetering on whether or not to purchase, go for it! You won't regret it! Personally, these air purifiers have honestly changed my life! I wish I would've found this company sooner! I HIGHLY recommend! If I must find something negative, I guess I would have to say their OEM filter replacements are pricey but this was not a deterrent for me. They also offer an auto ship filter service for a discount. I give this an easy 5 star! (I was NOT paid for this review and was not asked to leave one. I have no affiliation with this company other than being a new-ish forever customer)! Hopefully this will help someone!

I bought the item "Used Like New" and when I opened the package dust flew out. The filter I received was dirtier than the filter I was removing from my air purifier. It was obviously not going to work. I've purchased used like new items many times but I've never received an item of such poor quality. My suggestion is buy it brand new and don't take the risk. Especially if you have health issues.

I needed to replace my air filter for my Blue Air air purifier. I went a little longer than I should have in replacing this filter 11 months instead of the required 6 months. Overall it’s a fine filter - I have pretty severe allergies and I don’t know if I am noticing a difference. It could be due to the filter age. I bought this from blueairoutlet.com and they shipped it IN the product packaging which I didn’t like since it is an air filter and was left out in the elements. I used a coupon so it worked out well in terms of pricing.

The packaging is no good. It arrived as picture, not in the shipping box. The product box was damaged as seen in the photo. is not cheap staff, hope the seller should be put inside of a shipping box.

These filters last and are so good at cleaning the air. The design of the purifier is amazing. They are quiet any efficient. We leave them in 24/7 and we never have to dust anymore. My computers stay dust free and the air is so clean and we feel better. Don’t skimp on the off brands to save money. We tried that -MISTAKE!!!
